commented on Which Tudor Master Chronometer? ·

100% Tudor. I am considering a few as my next watch, that BB41, a Pepsi gmt, or a Pelagos. I think Tudor is making the best product in its price point, big fan. That new BB41 monochrome is boring and perfect.

These are rad in gold. Great pics.

commented on Tropical dial or new dial ·

There’s a romance to a faded dial like that. On the other hand who doesn’t like shiny and new?

I think I’d keep the old dial but perhaps the day would come when I decide otherwise. The thing about keeping it as is, you can still change it. Once you change it I don’t know if you’ll be able to change it back.

commented on Would you wear the cartier tank casually ? ·

I think wearing dressier watches with sportier outfits is a bit on trend right now. Jeans and a polo with a tank and a pair of clean sneakers or even nice boots looks great.

The all black look is never gonna be for me. It’s cool looking but a bit novel or maybe trendy is the word I’m looking for. The steel and black is a classic. It’ll always be nearly perfect looking.

commented on Grandpa Watches ·

8 or so years back my grandfather passed and I was given his 1978 Seiko. I polished the crystal off a bit and it looks great. The dial has a bit of a gray sunburst effect that’s more muted than it looks in this pic. It’s a nice 36mm, that gold rehaut is pretty cool and the bracelet is all jangly like a dinky old bracelet should be. My grandfather was a penny pincher for sure, and I say that with nothing but reverence, this is a really fun little watch.

That big new gold Rolex Deepsea. That would just be silly fun.
